A series of hand gestures, each representing a letter of the alphabet or an entire phrase; Very useful to deaf people & also if you're somewhere ya gotta be quiet so you just sign instead of talk. It originated in the early 19th century in the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.
Monica's daughter is deaf so I got to see American Sign Language in action. It was a very interesting experience & her siblings knew how to sign too; their fingers just flew!

Get the American Sized mug.One of the most expensive, elite, boarding schools in the world. Divided by nationalities, it is a school filled with rich loyal russians, an overload of loud mexicans and a fun group of brazilians and an invisible but huge group of chinese. Literally the chinese take most of the school up but no one notices. The school issues the stupidest infractions over coming to check in 1 min late. Although travel weekend or 'leave' keep the students sane with Java club, long weekends to Barcelona, Monaco, London and Paris. Get ready to have your student account drained by the Otts. Leysin American School is described as the getaway but also the prison.
